The Manfrotto SYMPLA 80mm H-Offset is a new component to the SYMPLA range & features a lighter (0.20kg) & smaller offset design. The horizontal offset allows two sets of SYMPLA rods to be joined off-centre. The most common use is connecting the SYMPLA padded shoulder mount on short rods with a pair of long rods holding a RC2 Mount so that the camera viewfinder or LCD screen can be more comfortably positioned & the weight of the camera & rig more ergonomically distributed. ...

The Manfrotto Sympla Adjustable Handles are fitted on a Universal Mount by two arms that can be angled independently. A twist of the single locking dial on each handle loosens or blocks all movement, allowing them to be rotated freely & quickly set at the exact position & angle required. The handles can be set in customary vertical or near-vertical positions, but also horizontally like motorbike handlebars. ...

The Manfrotto Sympla Body Support is designed to help create a more stable, vibration-free platform for shooting.

A repositionable ratchet locking lever blocks height adjustment (0-30mm) & if a greater height is needed then a Sympla V-Offset can be used with the Lens Support. ...

The Manfrotto Sympla Counterweight weighs 1.6kg & screws securely on to the Sympla Shoulder Pad via a 3/8” thread. Counterweights can also be stacked to offset very unbalanced loads.

The Manfrotto Sympla Fixed Plate is what securely holds the camera in place on the Sympla rigs. This plate has been constructed with precision-cast aluminium with durable steel components & allows for front-back positioning. A single, easy to use repositionable ratchet lock blocks movement & no tools are required for plate adjustments. Camera attachment is via Manfrotto's most popular quick release video plate so swapping cameras, or moving a camera between Sympla & a Manfrotto video head is quick & simple. Under the Plate are two 3/8” threads for attaching the entire rig, or individual components like the Flexible Mattebox, to a monopod, tripod or video head. Easy-Link fittings on the Plate sides also support Magic Arms, light modifiers, LED lighting units or external monitors. ...
